involved parties

< as project engineer, participated in Material Review Board to

report project status and follow up actions

< recommended design changes to manufacturing, repair and overhaul

processes by reviewing parts and systems performance history,

cost, difficulties, material and labor availability which

included dimensional analysis, material analysis, finish review,

process review

< researched and performed benchmarking for modification analysis

for repair and overhaul procedures

< Identified technical objectives of all projects that I worked

and determined best approach to accomplish projects

< prepared progress and status report for customers, team members

and MRB

< performed as a liaison engineer between external sources,

internal sources, management, contracting officers and customers

to handle technical issues

< provided direction to other staffs as assigned responsibilities

and supported all issues required in project handing

< developed first article test plans based on contractual

agreements received from external sources

< developed test procedures for internally repaired and overhauled

parts and systems all based on established/approved accepted

criteria that were developed from engineering drawings,

engineering specifications, legacy performance reporting systems

and field data

< have experience in Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerance (GD&T),

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

< have worked with metrology equipment, NDT equipment

RECENT EXPERIENCE

Manitowoc Cranes, Shady Grove, PA ? Jun 2012 - Jun 2013

Mechanical Systems

Engineer

Worked in Performance Verification Center (PVC) to improve mechanical

systems in industrial cranes. Was involved in systems analysis for product

life improvement by investigating failure modes.

< 1. Electrical Swivel Slip Rings, e.g., this entailed housing problems

related to moisture penetration, rigidity and configuration of internal

components, mating surfaces and installation, wiring harness,

connectors and thermal insulators, electrical brush wear, heat

dissipation, brush arms moment and spring force. In addition, I

participated in Pre-Test Evaluation consisting of Ohm test, continuity,

HALT and life cycle testing of electrical swivels slip rings

< 2. Corrosion Testing, e.g., investigated corrosion on chrome finish of

hydraulic cylinders, painted panel samples for external application and

stainless steel samples by performing salt fog testing in the

accelerated cyclic corrosion chamber

< 3. Ultrasound Test, e.g., performed ultrasonic testing on boom welds

for crack detection

< 4. Material Analysis, e.g., assisted in material chemical analysis for

stainless steel, locking pin, and bolts

EARLIER ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Mechanical Systems Project Engineer

Worked mechanical systems and components to support aircraft projects

related to sustainment and execution of systems diagnostics and

troubleshooting, maintained full responsibility in project management of

engineering projects, provided engineering assistance for procurement of

parts and systems.

< 1. Utilized problem solving skills in numerous projects including

engineering design change, specifications review, bill of materials,

engineering change orders, revision levels, technical order support,

and data cleansing, e.g. sleeve and spool assembly in accessory drive

gearbox to control hydraulic fluid flow for gear change, e.g., landing

gear shimmy - steering actuator

< 2. Evaluated root cause analysis and corrective actions, e.g. Stability

Augmenter system (SAS) hydraulic actuator failure

< 3. Performed configuration control analysis to ensure consistency in

all engineering documents, e.g. canopy glass modification

< 4. Assisted in modification design projects, .e.g. sheet metals change

from Mg to AL on flight surfaces, lower and upper longerons upgrade,

accessory drive gearbox upgrades

< 5. Participated in reliability projects to mitigate failures and

improve life cycle, e.g. rudder spring failure

< 6. Performed source qualification, material deficiencies reporting

analysis, contractors' capability analysis, e.g. tire failure

investigation, ejection chute, throttle control

Kelly Air Force Base ( San Antonio, TX ? 1995-1999

< 1. Provided engineering support for inspection projects related to

ultrasonic, eddy current, fluorescent penetrant, magnetic particles

inspection procedures

< 2. Developed and implemented on-time inspection procedures to ensure

continued performance in operation and overhaul, e.g. eddy current for

turbine compressor hub and wheel, UT for aluminum sheet metal corrosion

and flaking, florescent penetrant for flap hinge, magnetic particle for

bolt threads

< 3. Provided training, published inspection procedures
